History

Built circa 1880. Originally a walled flower garden and adjacent vegetable garden. Photos show up to 30 gardeners. Full history and photos of the house inside (1905) available in covered exhibition. The site steadily deteriorated into a ruin after 1933 until its surprise discovery by the present owners in 1999.

Plants of note

Too many to list. But the gardens contain large collections of bamboo, bougainvillea, clematis, dahlia, hibiscus, hedychium, helenium, hosta, thymus and salvia.
